Last year a couple of visits to the Rose Gar­den resulted in 43 photos in the Port­land Rose Garden 2015 album. This year I didn’t spe­cif­i­cal­ly make any trips to the Garden — I merely happened to stop by briefly before outings to the Japanese Gar­den. Therefore I don’t have nearly as many pictures this year as I did last year.

The four resulting photos from this first stop in September can now be viewed in this album. In the somewhat-near future I will be adding a handful of images I took in the Rose Garden parking lot during my October visit.
